Before you can migrate a new application to a different environment, you must package the relevant data instances and rulesets into a product rule. The product rule is an instance of Rule-Admin-Product, and it is referred to as the RAP file.

1. In the header of Dev Studio, click ConfigureApplicationDistributionPackage to start the Application Packaging wizard. For information about using the wizard, see Product rules.
2. Complete each page of the Application Packaging wizard.
3. On the last page of the wizard, click Preview.
4. Review the contents of the generated RAP file.
5. On the last page of the wizard, click Modify to make any changes.
6. When the RAP file is complete, click Export.
   Result: The wizard creates a .ZIP file in the ServiceExport directory on the current application server node.
